LHC questions election campaign in Gilgit-Baltistan

A DIVISION bench of the Lahore High Court, while hearing the appeals against the delay in the by-election in Punjab on Tuesday, took notice of the massive election campaign in Gilgit-Baltistan despite the governmentís warning regarding unfavourable law and order situation in the country for any such activity.

Three intra-court appeals were filed by Awami Muslim League Chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad, Muhammad Azhar Siddique and Manzoor Ali Gillani and were heard by the bench, comprising Justice Umar Ata Bandial and Justice Ijazul Ahsan.

Khawaja Haris advocate started the dayís proceedings with his arguments on behalf of the Punjab government. During the arguments, Justice Ijaz Ahsan questioned Mr Haris that if the law and order situation was so unsuitable how all the main political leaders of the country felt comfortable during the election meetings in Gilgit-Baltistan. The counsel of provincial government was stumped at this inquiry and could not give any substantial answer. Nevertheless, he said those areas had not been hit by any terror attack in the recent past. He submitted that the Election Commission of Pakistan should have granted an ample opportunity of hearing to the government before issuing the election schedule.

A single bench, comprising Justice Mian Saqib Nisar on October 9 while accepting Punjab governmentís plea, had postponed by-elections in Punjab on the ground that the chief election commissioner had not given opportunity of hearing to the provincial government.

The hearing was adjourned till Wednesday (today).

This is a great question for PML-N and the Punjab govt. - How come NS and PML-N is able to compaign in Gilgit-Baltistan when at the same time they have requested the postponment of bby-elections in Punjab?

I think by-elections will only take place once Saudi King gives Sharif family to take part in elections -

 

[Materialistic]

There is one simple answer, elections in punjab were postponed due to threats of attacks in Punjab. And they were proved by explosions on Islamic university and World Food Program's office and not just that there was an attack on GHQ and same thing happend in Lahore just in time when it was said there are threats of attacks.

Some people were raising questions whether there are any threats or is this a propaganda of PML-N and today here we have the proof. And it was suggested by PML-N that all the parties involved should carry on their election campaigns online and by tv channels, no public gatherings.

And about Gilgit-Baltistan, well there is no such information of any possible attack or any other sort of threat so of course elections will continue.

Thanks for your eye opening and educating feed back.

My humble suggestion is to please look at the map of Gilgit-Baltistan so that you understand the area and its distance to Peshawar and Swat etc.

There are no attacks in Punjab now and it with teh Operation going on in SW, it is high time that PML-N and Punjab govt. let the elections take place.

As far as NS is concerned he can always find a corrupt MNA from his party and ask for resignation, there are plenty.
